Judo is not for teeth but for humans

I was working on this three by six foot banner for Tsang Dentistry, when I got one of those not enough memory to perform this task errors! So ha! to anyone who thought 12GB of RAM was excessive!

Unrelatedly, the banner was for a judo tournament, but other than that I don’t know much. I kept everything as large as possible because who knows what the average viewing distance will be?

It’s a tooth wearing a bathrobe! No big deal, he just got out of bed and answered his door only to find it is the entire human content of one judo competition on his porch and milling about his front yard! That tooth is having a bad day, and at a loss for appropriate words, but at least he is clean and also healthy.

I’m still struggling with the connection between dentistry and judo… Is the dentistry company sponsoring the tournament, and so they hired you to create an advertisement?

If you ran out of 12 gigs of ram working on one image, and the image had 4 eight-bit channels and was twice as wide as it was high, then that image was:
width = 2 * height
4 * width * height >= 12 << 30
height >= sqrt( (12 << 30) / 8 ) = 40k pixels

Your banner is 40k pixels high and 80k pixels wide!

I imagine photoshop probably was using memory for more than just one image, though.
